The Research Center was built near the ruins where the Lustrous Orb was discovered. Inside the Research Center are stone tablets and the small fresco involving the legend of the lake guardians. Portraits of Dialga and Palkia can also be seen here. Among the many artifacts found inside is the Lustrous Orb, which was later stolen by Team Galactic.

The Adamant Orb was also supposed to be brought there from the Eterna Historical Museum so that the two orbs could be studied together, but it was also stolen by Team Galactic.
